Career advisor Tom Cruise

Tom Cruise is giving Zac Efron career advice.

The two actors – who recently became friends after realizing they are both motorcycle enthusiasts – speak regularly, with Hollywood legend Tom becoming the younger star's “professional and personal guru”.

A source said: “Tom and Zac clicked the minute they met.

“Now, when Zac gets a script to consider, his first call is to Tom. Tom warned Zac to diversify and not get pigeon-holed in one type of role.”

As well as giving the 'High School Musical' actor professional advice, the 'Knight and Day' star – who is married to Katie Holmes – advises his young friend of personal matters too.

The source explained to National Enquirer magazine: “Zac is extremely shrewd, but he considers Tom a personal and professional guru.”

“Tom also warned Zac how to conduct himself in public.”

The pair are enjoying their bonding sessions so much, they are even considering working on a new movie together.

The source added: “They've even talked about teaming up on a film together – the way Tom did with Paul Newman I the 1986 film 'The Color of Money'.”

Pakistani-Twitter-user-gets-Tom-Cruise-to-bail-out-flood-victims

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan's tweeters are leaving no stone unturned to embarrass the international community, which hasn't yet done enough for victims of the devastating floods, by asking them why they aren't singing "We are the world" for the country.

Natasha Jahangir, a New York based photographer and architecture major, got Hollywood actor Tom Cruise to ask his fans to contribute for the flood victims through a tweet.

"It's so sad (that) Tom Cruise is ignoring his Pakistani fans. Help raise awareness/donations for Pakistan," read Jahangir's message to Cruise.

Though Cruise was quiet for two days, the "Mission Impossible" star responded with "People of Pakistan, our thoughts are with you."

Cruise encouraged his nearly million fans on Twitter to send at least 10 dollars through their mobiles by texting the word "flood". His message was retweeted by hundreds of fans.

What is baffling Jahangir and other young Pakistanis is why the international community isn't pooling resources for flood victims.

Jahangir's standard message ever since reads: "I don't hear anyone singing 'We are the world for Pakistan'."

In her own words she has been mass tweeting to celebs like a "mad spammer" with or without much success. American Idol host Ryan Seacrest, who has over 3.4 million followers on Twitter, asked his fans to donate 10 dollars to a Pakistan relief fund following a tweet from Jahangir.

Though Jahangir got lucky she isn't the only one reaching out to the stars. Zara, another Pakistani Twitter user, has been doing much the same.

"I can't begin to tell you all how lucky Ms Jahangir has been in tweeting, because I have been doing the same.

Luckily, I caught the attention of Angelina Jolie so far and it worked," she posted on a blog.

Tom Cruise Working Out Like Crazy, Thinking Plastic Surgery

 As he’s preparing to reprise his role as daredevil agent Ethan Hunt for “Mission: Impossible 4,” which goes into production this year, Tom Cruise has changed his lifestyle to get back in shape and is even considering plastic surgery.

According to the print issue of InTouch Weekly (story via here), Cruise is somewhat fearful that audiences and, most importantly, studio bosses will think he’s lost that certain something he had to make the character believable.

As such, he’s determined to shave off 10 years of both his body and his face: with strenuous workouts for the former and some help from plastic surgery for the latter. His determination must be even greater now that Oscar-nominee Jeremy Renner (of the Oscar-winning “The Hurt Locker”) has been cast as his younger associate who may even take his place for a potential fifth film.

“A month after celebrating his 48th birthday, Tom Cruise has vowed to shave years off his face – and physique. His goal? To look 10 years younger by the time he begins shooting Mission Impossible IV later this year,” writes the tab.

Since making the decision to get back in top shape, Cruise has been spending as much as three hours every single day at the gym, while also going on a diet and seriously considering getting some plastic surgery.

“Tom has put himself on a strict fitness routine and diet, which includes daily three-hour workouts and a low-carb meal plan consisting of 1,200-1,300 calories per day,” dishes a well-places but unnamed source.

“Tom had to fight hard to reprise his role as super agent Ethan Hunt – Paramount reportedly blamed Tom for the disappointing performance of MI:3, and they wanted someone younger – and cheaper – for the sequel,” the mag writes.

So Cruise is actually getting a never-expected second chance from Paramount with the fourth flick, which would explain why he’s determined to show that can “be” younger. He also reportedly accepted a cut in his usual fee, just to be allowed back on board.

“Tom is determined to look like he did 10 years ago… he has been working out with his personal trainer, and he is also considering getting Botox and fillers to smooth out his skin,” the same spy explains for the publication.

Admittedly, Cruise is so “focused” on his goal of making an energetic and believable Ethan Hunt that he’s not even visiting wife Katie and daughter Suri in Toronto because, claims the spy, “he doesn’t want any distractions.”

Tom Cruise donate for Pak flood-victims

LOS ANGELES: Hollywood mega star Tom Cruise has called upon his fans using social networking to give donations for the people affected by unprecedented floods in Pakistan.

Tom Cruise crashes teen fan's dirt bike

Hollywood actor Tom Cruise crashed a teenage fan's dirt bike into a wall while showing off some stunts.

The 'Knight and Day' star was reportedly asked by the fan to have a go on the speedy two-wheeled vehicle outside the Scientology Celebrity Centre in Hollywood. He lost control, crashed and ended up scraping the bike all up the side, reports contactmusic.com.

He reportedly told the young fan: 'Guess I got a bit carried away. Give me your name and phone number, and I'll have it fixed good as new'.

However, the teenager decided he would rather keep the bike in damaged state, autographed by Cruise.

As he started to head home, the teenager is said to have shouted at the actor: 'Thanks for breaking my bike in

How Else Can Paramount Make Us Forget Tom Cruise Is in Mission Impossible 4?

Poor Tom Cruise. Yesterday we learned that Paramount is adding Jeremy Renner to the fourth Mission Impossible movie as an operative who will someday inherit the franchise from Cruise. Today, we find out that they're also adding a female agent — Paula Patton and Lauren German are being considered, reports Deadline — and that MI4's title will not include the words "Mission Impossible," but, rather, completely different words ("much as Christopher Nolan's Batman sequel was simply titled The Dark Knight," says Variety), presumably to distance the film from previous installments that more prominently featured Tom Cruise. So how else might the studio downplay his involvement?

A few suggestions:

• You know how they're always using those cool lifelike masks in Mission Impossible movies? They could have Cruise wear a Robert Pattinson one for MI4's entire running time.

• Replace the Mission Impossible theme song — so identifiable with Cruise and the previous MI movies — with Cee-Lo's "Fuck You."

• Have Ethan Hunt lose the use of his legs during MI4's first few minutes, requiring him to transfer his consciousness into the body of a Na'Vi.

• Schedule his MI5 costume fittings during the MI4 publicity tour.

• Cast Mel Gibson as another fellow operative.

Surely you have better ideas! You know where to leave them.

 

Tom Cruise’s KNIGHT AND DAY

Share Tom Cruise, Cameron Diaz in James Mangold‘s Knight and Day Tom Cruise‘s vehicle Knight and Day was labeled a "belly-up flop" in the United States because it opened in late June with $20.1m on its initial weekend (the spy caper had been out since Wed. that week). Not helping matters was Cruise’s reputation as a Couch-Jumping Scientologist. Its run is almost over, Tom Cruise’s "flop" has taken in nearly $76m at the domestic box office. Not a bad figure, though a disappointment considering the film’s $117m production cost (not including marketing/distribution expenses). However, Knight and Day has scored $146.5m overseas, where apparently people don’t care about Cruise’s religious beliefs or where he chooses to do his calisthenics. The film’s worldwide total to date is $222.27m, placing it at no. 17 among 2010 releases. Not bad at all for a belly-up flop. Photo: Knight and Day (Frank Masi / 20th Century Fox)
